Sun in h-alpha 2008/02/16 PCW Memorial Observatory, 40.01/-81.56
There were several prominences scattered about the limb, visible at different magnifications. I've concentrated at the NNE one, which also had a very small reach in front of the disk when I tweaked the Etalon. I should have sketched this area larger, or sharpened my pencils better. There was so much detail within it that my white pencils were too blunt to render them properly. With the hunters and their dogs in the fields and woods in front of our observatory, I wasn't keen on hanging out too long for more sketches. Thankfully I could close the door to keep Riser in the observatory with me. As it was, he was antsy, moving around a lot and making noises...very distracting.
